Hi all
I am slowly trying to clear my out of control car collection. What will be left is my 300sl-24.
I bought it as a project just before prices crashed. It had CHG/misfire and oil leak problems and was generally tatty but in a nice colour and with some staggered Carlsson wheels.
Rather slower than anticipated I am getting around to sorting her. The soft-top has been replaces, I now have a hardtop (altho the wrong colour). I've replaced the wings (not yet painted) and have sourced a s/h 24v engine. But...
I've never been really into tuning in a max-power sort of way. That said I am somewhat inspired by Andy's c43/55 thread and a conversation I had with Olly last night. I want to make this car a little bit "special". After all, I have so many £readies invested in her I need to do something to make this car worth the spend, and kindof "standout" although not in a blingy way. Whilst a 55 drop in isn't really an option due to the differing technologies, I'd love some input as to what I could do to make her a bit quicker?
No budget in mind at this stage till I get more ideas.
Cheers guys
